You go girl!

Cool, how's that going? I've been out all day and i've just got back and put the single on now I'm settled at the computer.

Someone's already tabbed out Vicarious. Nuts.
/beaten

Dude, that was on the last page or the one before!

On Tool Navy, there was some people who had already tabbed that 30 second clip like not hours after it was released. It's insane.

And it seems off.. Or is it just me? I don't even think the intro riff sounds right (either of the two guitars)

I think this single has sort of crammed a lot of the reasons why I liked Tool in the first place into one song, with a little extra.

There's too much going on for me to decide if it's off or not after only 10 listens, heh.

I'd love a guitar pro or powertab for it

Don't kill the song, dude... it'll make the album sound that much more fresh once you hear the whole thing. :p

I hears schism so many times before actually buying Lateralus.. I even completely memorized the whole song by learning it on guitar.. And it didn't take anything away from the whole experience at all

I think there's one of the 30 second clip on tdn..But I'd rather have the whole thing, heh.

Mike - If the album is killable, it will die. Even after probably 300 listens to Lateralus, I still love it. Same with Ænima and Undertow, to lesser extents.

Anyways, don't worry about me. I think I'll ease up on the listening anyways, heh.

Oh. It would for me.. I'm trying to not over play it.

There's one bad thing about this song... . .. I haven't been able to write any music the past 2 days because my inner ear keep hearing the riffs for Vicarious whenever I'm not actually having it blasting through my speakers

It's kind of hard to overplay Tool songs. I've never gotten tired of any. I've listened to Lateralus god knows how many times, and it still hasn't gotten old.

Vicarious has actually inspired me to write more riffs rather than stopped me from writing.

Just tabbed out the bassline for the intro (or close to it) for Vicarious
I got

D-12-0-0-10-0-0-12-0-0-12h14p12-0-10-0-0-12-0-0-14-15p14-0-

D-14/12-0-10-0-0-12h14p14-0-10-0-0-12-0-10-

I'll post a recording up. Well my bass is at my drummers so maybe I'll record through acoustic guitar to give the idea?

Do it.

Im kinda underwhelmed by the song.

I hate the Messugah part.

The lyrics are good, but nothing amazing

Guitar parts sound old now too much "Lateralus" in them

But I still think it is a good song just not what I was hoping for, but I think no matter what they put out I would have felt that way.

Has anyone heard the whole album?

Nobody here has.

That's exactly how I felt when I first heard it.

That's what expectations do for you.

[QUOTE]Im kinda underwhelmed by the song. [/QUOTE]

I felt the opposite. multiple melodies in 10/8 make me a little 'wtf'd.' Heh.

I can't wait for tomorrow.

Not just that I'll hear this 'amazing' song for the first time.

THE VIDEO may come out.

Ugh, that song is totally forgettable. I hope the album isn't Lateralus pt. 2. It doesn't get good till the end. I hope it grows on me.

After hearing Vicarious, it really felt as if my life started a new chapter. I'm serious. Has anyone else felt like this?

Not really.

I don't think I'll have any more life changing music-listening experiences for a long time.

Lateralus and TMV's Frances the Mute were pretty big ones.

I love Vicarious though and I can't wait for the new album.

Definately not me. If anything it's a repeat of what I've already heard.

The last one I had was soooo long ago, Fredrik Chopin's Ballade in G minor.

The album isn't anything like lateralus to me. It's the next step.

imo, Any music by Tool can be good in a way. Depends on how you look at it.
We all know(tool fans) that Vicarious and 10 000 WILL grow on you. It happens with Tool. You start looking at the lyrics and deeper meanings in songs and sh!t like that. imo, It's all good.

It just doesn't seem that inspired.

There is no "Meshuggah part." The influence of that band is throughout the entire song and probably album. If you're talking about the stacatto section...yeah, it's not the best part of the song.

I was underwhelmed and confused too. The only things that impressed me were the bass and drums.

And the lyrics make me cringe. Maynard has gone from being one of the best lyricists ever to a boring, almost "metalcore" lyricist.
